Next Major Update - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 1)

Hi @Smin1080p_WT. I had a quick question about this report : Community Bug Reporting System

The HMSD of the eurotigers was indeed added during this update, but the ability to slave missiles to the HMSD was not. The update is a year old. Is this issue known, and if not, is a new report about it needed ? Other reports specifically on the missile cueing were marked as duplicate leading to this one.
The tigers would really benefit from having the HMS missile cueing implemented, as the mistrals and stingers are not great missiles and often need to be lead towards the target if you want any chance of hitting.

Hey. The last report on the ability to slave missiles was fixed 8 months ago:
https://community.gaijin.net/issues/p/warthunder/i/LBi6QoYb3uIS

So if it’s not correct now, a new report would be needed.

Edit: scratch that, there is an internal report already open on this.

7038

But it actually was not fixed :/
Do you have any idea if something was done following this report ?

7039

Hey Smin! While we still on the topic of missile slaving, do you by chance know reasons behind removal of slaving option for rangefinding radars that are found on early kfirs for example?

7040

Hey. As far as I’m aware it was found not to have them. But if there is information that suggests otherwise, a report is always welcome.

7041

So we’ve confirmed a 625’s entry to WT, will it be 625E or not is my only concern.

7042

It would seem its E. Pointing to that is mirror mounting.

7043

Also the paintwork. Since a 9.7/10.0 SPAA is completely useless and unnecessary. However it being FB10A or just FB10 is also worrying. I am sceptical about Gaijin’s willingness to bring Pantsir contender.

7044

And the fact that the base 625 would be worse at AA than the HQ-17.

7045

Wouldn’t the Type-625E just be Type-81 like IR missiles with an AHEAD ammo Gatling gun?

7046

Tbh the IRIS-T SLS will have ~8km of effective range, so it will be, I don’t want to use this word, but I guess I have to, sidegrade to VT1.

Yes, unless they introduce LOAL. Then it will have much greater range.

7048

Imagine being able to fire and forget long range IR missiles that out range most air to surface weapons

7049

The 625E missile is supposed to have RF/IR seeker.

Oh we are aware and annoyed by that. What we need would be the IRIS-T SLM.
But the problem is we either have short range or the range jumping straight to 40km
And high chances of us getting that. IRIS-T most of the time will be delegated for ammunition interception, even if that sadly gives way less rewards and only works to a point.
If someone comes into or range, well then they are likely dead

7051

Also not having to sit exposed guiding the missile will make it significantly harder for aircraft to shoot you back

7052

not like that will matter for most modern spaas we will get, cause they have to set up and cant quickly fire and move

7053

Yep (tho the Chinese one won’t need to do so)

7054

Any new nations this year?

7055

This year not as tt, but we are supposed to get a subtt
